Bible Psychology: The Divine Guide to Mental Health Mastery

Two Greek words compose Bible psychology; psyche, meaning consciousness, and logos, meaning study. In English. We use psyche with other significations like spirit and soul.

Consciousness and Mind

At the base of the mind is consciousness. As defined by Genesis 2:7, this is the neshama, the understanding and awareness that God places in each human being. Consciousness is present from birth and is the fundamental makeup of every human. Neshama identifies what a human is.

The mind is continuously active regarding consciousness. Bible psychology involves both working together. Everything the mind does, thinking mentally, or accomplishing physically, is associated with the five elements of consciousness.

What about the Brain?

The physical brain is the transducer that converts mind waves to brainwaves and vice-versa. It allows our mind to interact with our body to transmit our physical sensations (from our five senses) to our non-physical thoughts and vice versa.

Internal and external influences

Our consciousness and minds are subject to every influence around us. So these effects need to be added to the definition of the psychology diagram. To different degrees, each person has intuition, personal experiences, subconscious activity, dreams, emotions, and feelings. These are very powerful because they are vivid personal events we have lived in our minds and bodies. They are real and authentic. There’s no point in denying them and no point in trying to convince someone of their non-existence.

Bible psychology

Bible psychology is NOT about humankind’s research of the psyche; Bible psychology is the psuche and pneuma under the benevolence of God’s Logos.

From Creation, we have neshama and ruach, with God informing Adam and Eve how to use them. In the next chapter, we shall see the Old Testament teachings on mental health well-being for ALL humans, which, we will see are still valid today.

The definition of Bible psychology: God’s Word applied to the neshama and ruach.

The Logos as the basis for mastering our psuche and pneuma.
